“We look forward to working together with a brand that shares our passion for bringing people together, and we are excited for how this will improve the experience for our members,” said Michael Waxman, Grouper Founder & CEO. “When people meet for the first time, TV and movies are often times the ultimate ice-breaker conversation. This partnership will facilitate our goal of bringing people closer together by injecting pop culture into the mix.”
“We’re ecstatic to partner with an innovative, emerging brand with a young, connected demographic that understands and seeks what TiVo delivers – a television experience that brings together the best of all television – streaming apps and cable TV – anywhere, anytime and on any device,” said Doug Bieter, TiVo’s VP for Consumer Sales and Marketing. “Grouper’s passion for creating a personalised, fun experience for their customers captures the essence of what we do for lovers of TV. We look forward to seamlessly supporting the Grouper experience with TiVo technology in a variety of capacities.”
